The Curculio. — To prevent the ravages of this insidious insect, which in 

 this climate often commences its depredations as early as the last of May or 

 first of June, by depositing its eggs in the young fruit, prepare a mixture 

 made in the proportion of one bushel of wood ashes to a quart of soot, and 

 one pound of flour of sulphur ; apply it in the morning while the branches 

 and foliage are wet with dew, and in sufficient quantity to coat the tree. — 

 This is a very effectual and cheap remedy.
